If your ears never stop ringing, Tinnitus Saurus helps you match each ear's pitch and build a daily notched sound routine. HOW IT WORKS Notched sound therapy removes a narrow band of frequencies centered on your tinnitus pitch from broadband noise or music. Research suggests this approach may help reduce perceived tinnitus loudness over time through a mechanism called lateral inhibition. Tinnitus Saurus makes this process simple: match your frequency, start a session, and track your progress. MATCH YOUR TINNITUS PITCH — FREE Use the built-in frequency tuner to find your exact tinnitus frequency in each ear. Choose auto-sweep (the app scans through frequencies while you listen) or fine-tune manually with a precision slider. Supports frequencies from 100 Hz to 15,000 Hz. Save your match and carry it into therapy. FREE FEATURES - Tuning Wizard with bilateral per-ear frequency matching (auto-sweep + manual tuning) - Session timer with durations from 15 minutes to 8 hours - Daily severity check-ins (1–10 scale) - Journal with notes, tags, and session history - Severity trend chart to visualize changes over time - Educational content explaining how notched therapy works - Daily reminder notifications FREE THERAPY (30 minutes per day) - Notched noise therapy (white, pink, or brown noise with adjustable notch width and depth) - Notched music therapy (import your own songs and apply the notch filter) - Real-time notch visualization showing the removed frequency band PREMIUM — UNLIMITED SESSION TIME - Remove the 30-minute daily cap — listen as long as you want - $7.99/month, $59.99/year (save 37%), or $79.99 lifetime - Cancel anytime in the App Store WHY TINNITUS SAURUS Most tinnitus apps offer generic sound masking. Tinnitus Saurus is different: - Personalized: The Tuning Wizard identifies your exact tinnitus pitch in each ear independently, then therapy is built around your specific frequencies — not a one-size-fits-all soundscape. - Structured: A built-in session timer and journal keep you consistent — the key to notched therapy. - Transparent: All therapy types are free for 30 minutes per day. Premium simply removes the daily cap. - Private: All your data stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no tracking. - Offline: Works without an internet connection after download. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Tinnitus Saurus is a general wellness app. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making any decisions about your tinnitus or hearing health. This app is intended to complement, not replace, professional medical advice. Notched sound therapy is an area of active research with published peer-reviewed studies (Okamoto et al., 2010; Teismann et al., 2011; Pantev et al., 2012). Individual results may vary. If you experience sudden, unilateral, or pulsatile tinnitus, please see a doctor promptly. Terms of Use: https://tinnitussaurus.com/terms-of-service Questions or feedback?

About

EarLog

Don't log your life. Your Apple Watch already did. EarLog is a tinnitus diary that fills itself. Rate your tinnitus once a day — one tap, or just ask Siri — and EarLog pairs it with what your Apple Watch already measured: environmental noise, headphone levels, sleep, and heart signals. No food diaries. No twenty questions. SEE YOUR PATTERNS — After 14 days, EarLog shows how your ratings moved alongside noise, sleep and more. Plain sentences, your own data: "Across 28 recorded days, previous-day noise and your ratings tended to move together." MASKING SOUNDS — Six sounds chosen from what people with tinnitus commonly use: white, pink and brown noise, rain, ocean and river. Sleep timer with fade-out included. AFTER-SOUND CHECK — Stop a sound after ten minutes and EarLog offers a single one-tap check, so you can see how your tinnitus reads right after listening — and compare earphone vs speaker sessions over time. MIND TOOLS — A thought diary, 4-7-8 breathing and a short body scan. Small tools many people use for living with tinnitus, borrowing techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Not a therapy program. LEARN — Short cards on what research has observed about tinnitus, nights, sleep and sound — with the numbers, not promises. YOURS, PRIVATELY — Everything stays on your device. No account, no server, no ads. Export your data as CSV anytime, free. APPLE WATCH REQUIRED for the full experience — automatic collection of noise, sleep and heart data comes from your Apple Watch. Without one, you can still record your tinnitus daily and use the sounds and mind tools. EarLog was designed with published tinnitus research in mind, but it is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat or predict anything. Information shown is for reference only and does not replace medical judgment. If tinnitus appeared suddenly or distresses you, please see a clinician. Subscription: EarLog Pro unlocks full history, pattern reports, PDF export and all sounds. $2.99/month or $19.99/year after a 7-day free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase. The trial converts unless cancelled at least 24 hours before it ends. Manage in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions.
